Another day, another Samsung Galaxy S7 rumour. The last few days have yielded quite a few rumours about the Galaxy S7 including the possible inclusion of something like 3D Touch and a January launch, but today’s rumour surrounds the device’s camera. This year’s Galaxy S6 (and its follow-up flagship devices) used a 16MP camera to great effect – it still holds the second spot on DxOMark’s ladder for all smartphone cameras. The word is, however, that Samsung will instead move to a 20MP camera sensor for next year’s device.
Of course, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen a 20MP camera sensor – after all, Sony’s been using one for at least 2 years. Since the size of the sensor pixels now apparently matter, it’s said that this sensor will use 1.0-micron pixels, which sounds good – we think. The new sensor will also allegedly improve low-light performance, in particular, however, we do anticipate that whatever Samsung does, it will have one of the best cameras around. Of course, as with all rumours, take all this with a grain of salt.
